Hi Everyone. The time has finally come for us to departed for the semester. Congratulations to all who are graduating. I'm really just glad this semester is over. I ren into some circumstances that just caught me off guard and cause be to really loose focus.
I've really learned a lot a this semester. I got a chance to browse the Vista. It was challenging trying to get to class to do the assigments with my work schedule. But I really enjoyed.
I wouldn't change anything about the class. It was convenient until my situations. I wish we could have had more on hands assignments.
After not even completing my wireless assignment, I installed it on my laptop. I regret my grade for the assignment but it wasn't a waste I still did the assignment.
Have a good summer. I hope to see you in the Fall.

What's happening with WII
What's going on with the game Wii? When the game first arrived on the market people where excited. Some expected it to take over the video game world. But according to a recent report Wii has not done as well as it anticipated.
Nintendo is still rocking all over the world, with Xbox 360 trailing behind. What's going on? "When the game Super Smash Bros. Brawl hit the shelf it sold more than 1.4 million copies during the first week of its release." It broke the records for Nintendo. What happened to sales? Sales started dropping across the board. Many people were told if the game was damage when they got it home, they couldn't return it. The customers were satisfied with just buying something they knew would work.
Many consumers think that sales are low because people are not familiar with that type of game. They are use to the PlayStation's and Xbox's. Wii has to find a way to get the public interested in the game. They have to come up with a stronger strategy than its opponents.
What is your favorite game?

Facebook vs. ConnectU
In 2003, ConnectU was accusing Mark Zuckerberg and the original crew of pilfering their ideas. Of course you know Facebook had a countersuit.
"The ConnectU founders asserted they hired Mark, to help them create a campus-wide dating site called, "Harvard Connection." He didn't react to their idea at first. While he was thinking about their idea he was creating his own idea, "The Facebook.com." Both parties were ordered into mediation last year. "All motions in the ConnectU case have been terminated."

Microsoft Licenses - Adobe Mobile Software
Do you have a cell phone? If you do what features do you have on it? Maybe you use the internet on it for shopping.
Well, "Microsoft Corp. has licensed Adobe's software for viewing online videos a nd other files on cell phones" "Microsoft will give out Flash Lite and Reader programs from the system to cell phone makers who use its Window Mobile Software." The Flash Lite will give the user the chance to visit more sites and view windows in differnt colors. "Flash Lite is the software behind most shoppoing sites." Adobe is offering this service free of charge to its end users. Microsoft will be offering Silverlight to a billion of its customer to promote it.
"In 2007, 11 million phones carried Windows Mobile." This year they claim they will double their profits. I would think this would be a very challenging thing for Microsoft since they have to pay Adobe for there service when they have their own Silverlight for viewing videos. What do you think about about this? Will Adobe continue to dominate Microsoft in this field or will Microsoft be able to pull it off?

One Laptop per Child Foundation
Hello everybody. How's everyone doing? I know everyone is enjoying the weather we've had lately. This weekend was great. I only had to work three days and was off the rest of the week. I really enjoyed myself.
One laptop per child was meant to be use as a learning tool for children that are less fortunate than us. It gives children the opportunity to browse the web and use rich media player and other software they don't have access to. It helps them use the laptop as tool for learning more about the world and for using writing tools to write or compose papers.
The software is built from free and a open source software. It gives the kids the opportunity to use the laptop under their own terms. They can reshape, reinvent, and reapply their software and other tools. The user interface is tailored to their knowledge.
The "SUGAR" interface was created, it's a zoom interface that graphically captures the world of fellow learners and teachers. They talk about the connections going on in the community and surrounding world.
Do you know anyone who could benefit from this laptop? Many of our children are getting left behind. Some don't have access to computers to do the assignments, or they don't have transportation to the library. OLCF can help children like this. OLCF was founded in San Francisco. If it works out they plan to move the program to other cities and states.

Security at our Fingertips
Hello everyone
I trust everyone had a wonderful weekend. Unfortunately I'm home with suffering from the bug. The weather changes so much I don't know what to wear. I guess I need to put on a coat whenever I go out.
Security has been a concern for many companies. Did you know passwords were costly? It cost companies a average of $150 per year/per employee on passwords. If companies decide to switch over from passwords and use the fingertip security the company would reduce its cost at 90%.
Fingerprint authentication assures only the user can gain access to networks and applications. Using biometric technologies logging on to your computer requires a quick, simple sliding of yiur fingers across a sensor to ensure secure access. The fingerprint security helps maintain security for PC users, a concern especially when confidential data had the potential to be accessed if it is not protected correctly. It restricts users other than those with registered biometrics for that device from accessing the PC, Internet, or files stores on that PC. It also eliminates the need for users to remember different passwords to gain access, saving time and enhancing the user experience.
I order a laptop about two weeks ago, I was so impressed with the feature. I was thrilled I had a way to keep my children off it. I know longer have to worry about them finding my passwords laying around my room. It is just a great feature.

What happened to Microsoft
Hi everyone. I take it everyone had a wonderful weekend. It wasn't too hot or too cool. The weather was beautiful. I had a great time shopping. Now it's back to the books.
Why did Yahoo turn Microsoft down?
Yahoo rejected Microsoft's bid today. Yahoo claims the bid was too low. The board felt like the bid wasn't the best thing for its stockholders. Microsoft believes a combination of the companies would lead to cost savings of a billion dollars per year.
Do you think this is a way for Yahoo to get Microsoft to raise their bid? Yahoo probably won't find another company to bid as much as Microsoft bid. On the other hand Microsoft won't be able to meet its Internet goals by going with another company.
Many people think the deal will go through, they are just going through a process right now. Yahoo wants to see if Microsoft will raise the price. The situation is very difficult for both companies. If Yahoo doesn't take the deal at the price, Microsoft might walk away. Then Yahoo, doesn't want to miss out on the offer if they don't have a back up plan.

Hello everyone,
My name is Veronica Noble. I'm employed with Sara Lee Bakery, I've been there for 19 years. I have three children. I've been married for a year and a half. I've been attending ECC for nearly three years pursuing a degree in Information Systems. It's been hard but I'm still hanging in there.
